GOOD, BETTER, BEST.
THE aoLD RELIABLE c0oPER'S WARE
HOUSE STILL LEADING.
Biggest Prices and Highest Averages
for all Grades OF Tobacco.


See the mighty hosts appearing; a
perfect army of farmers; a regular
caravan of white-topped wagons. In
files of twos, and fours, and dozens
they come. The glorious news has
gone fourth; tobacco is .'up"--and SO
are the farmers, both late and early.
Nature has furnished propitious seasons
/ for stripping the weed, and Cooper is
| doing the balance for the farmers.
All grades are bringing full prices at
the "Old Reliable and sellers are
happy. There has been perfect rush
to get to market this week and trying
as it has been Dave Cooper has been
equal to the emergency. No one
ever saw him when he could not &C
commodate all, look carefully after
each and evey pile of tobacco, make
it bring its full value, and pay proper
and becoming attention to every in
dividualno matter how much tobacco
in the warehouse or how busy the sale.
And so it is. Notwithstanding the
immense business of the past two
weeks, and the enormous sales every
day, no one feels sighted, and when
the account of sales are handed over
to the farmers the wealth of smiles
that play upon their countenance tell
the tale of how we'll pleased they are.
In fact no one goes away from Cooper's
warehouse dissatisfied if high prices for
their tobacco is what they are after.
For the truth of this assertion look at
the following figures and say how it
would have been with you, and If you
do not think these gentlemen went
home with good news for their good
wives, and lots of good things for theli
good little children:
